Guest esage Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Installed 9.1 with no problems. However, when I go: StartApplications>ConfigureKDE>Look&Feel>Screensaver there is *no* list. Note: If I click on 'Default' in Screen Saver the KDE Ctrl Center crashes. When I use Gnome, the screensavers are all there in the list and they work fine. How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

mystified Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 First thing you might try would be to open a terminal (konsole), su to root and type urpmi kdeartwork to see if you have that package installed. If not install it and see if that fixes your problem. And welcome to the forum! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest esage Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I tried the kdeartwork w/o success. Maybe this will help. I think it's going to the wrong place, but I don't know how to fix it. The screensavers pics [e.g., 10.png] are in usr/share/mdk/screensavers/xx.png. Question I guess is how do I get the KDE to go to the right place? Or should I say 'call' the right place. Sorry, I still think Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't believe Gnome and KDE share their screensavers. The one you referenced is in the same place here and is the default mandrake screensaver that uses changing random blueish pictures. My other screensavers that KDE can use I think are in "file:/usr/share/xscreensaver". You may want to install "xscreensaver" to get what your looking for.

Guest esage Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Scoopy: Based on your tip that Kde & Gnome use different files, I see that the usr/share/mdk/screensavers/xx.png are for KDE. So I'm left with the same problem..oh well, can't win 'em all! Thanks for your help. This newbie appreciates it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest esage Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Scoopy: too long w/o enuf sleep. I meant they are Gnome, *not* KDE. Sorry! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
